Prof Tom Greggs holds the Marischal Chair of Divinity (the oldest separated Divinity chair established in 1616) at the University, and is a founding co-director of the Aberdeen Centre for Protestant Theology. He also currently serves as Head of Divinity at Aberdeen. ABOUT THE EBOR LECTURES & THIS SERIES The theme of this series of reflections is "2020 Vision: Sharpening our Focus". With the Covid-19 pandemic, the year 2020 presents a significant opportunity for individuals and societies to look again and see what and who we might have overlooked, and to gaze towards the horizon of the future. The Ebor Lectures in Theology and Public Life were established in 2006 in the northern English city of York. This prominent series of lectures, and related events, promotes a conversation between theology and public issues, offered free-of-charge to the general public. Theology is the systematic study of the nature of the Divine and of religious belief. The Ebor Lectures offer a space where theology can dialogue with a range of communities such as educational institutions, public interest groups, religious movements, secular society, and anyone with an interest in contemporary issues. The Ebor Lectures series is an ecumenical project jointly sponsored and organised by York Minster, York St John University, The Order of Carmelites, The Yorkshire North and East District of the Methodist Church and The C. & J. B. Morrell Trust. www.eborlectures.org
